At the beginning of this season of The Cast Beyond the Wall, we were skeptical about House of the Dragon. After the premiere, we were curious, and as the series aired, we found ourselves enjoying this Westerosi show almost as much as the last. In this season finale of The Cast Beyond the Wall, hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stull are re-joined by Rapidfire & Blood Reactions co-host, Lauren Weingart, to look back at the Game of Thrones successor series's freshman year.
